Ingest Data using Connectors

To configure a connector to send data to CFS, follow these steps.

To configure a connector to send data to CFS

  1. Stop the connector, if it is running. For information about how to stop a connector, refer to the connector’s documentation.
  2. Open the connector’s configuration file in a text editor.
  3. In the [Ingestion] section, set the following parameters:

    EnableIngestion To enable ingestion, set this parameter to true.
    IngesterType To send data to CFS, set this parameter to CFS.
    IngestHost The host name or IP address of the CFS.
    IngestPort The ACI port of the CFS.
    IngestSSLConfig (Optional) The name of a section in the connector’s configuration file that contains the SSL settings to use when communicating with the CFS.

    For example:

    [Ingestion]
    EnableIngestion=True
    IngesterType=CFS
    IngestHost=localhost
    IngestPort=7000
  4. (Optional) If your connector and CFS are installed on different machines, you might need to set either IngestDataPort or IngestSharedPath.

  5. Save and close the configuration file.

    You can now start the connector.
